Malta-UK Relations To Remain Strong After Brexit

The Minister for European Affairs and Implementation of the Electoral Manifesto, Louis Grech, told the new British High Commissioner, Mr Stuart Gill that Malta wants to maintain strong ties between the two countries, even after Brexit.

Mr Grech said that, though Malta regretted the British decision to leave the European Union, it was determined to ensure that Malta and the U.K. would continue to have excellent bilateral relations on many fronts.  At the same time, both countries knew that there would be consequences to the exit of the U.K. from the European Union, but the U.K. will always have a strong relationship with the EU.

The British High Commissioner said that Brexit was a challenging process and this explained why the British Government was being cautious on when it would invoke Article 50 of the Treaty, since the U.K. had to work out what kind of new relationship it should have with the Union.
